How long does it take for a Question to be reviewed by Moderator?

[Former Member]

I had posted a question yesterday and was informed it will be published after being reviewed by a moderator. I still do not see the question on the forum (SRM).

I am wondering how long does it usually take for a moderator to review a question?

Thanks!

You will have noticed a message indicating that your content will be reviewed by an SCN moderator before being published or posted on SCN.

The SCN moderators, who are volunteers, work around the clock to review and approve legitimate content. There's no commitment to how long this takes but it will be done in a timely manner across the 400+ SCN spaces.  Thank you for your understanding and patience.

New SCN members are fully moderated until they complete some beginner missions to prove their intent: this is to prevent electronic spam. Additional actions may trigger moderation, regardless of who the user is.

Hi Raghavendra,

It depends on the Space and the number of moderators. For example, in the HCM space there are 3 or 4 active moderators so content gets accepted fairly quickly. However, in some spaces there is only 1 moderator and he/she may have to deal with a lot of content. Each submission has to be checked because we find that in some cases newer members post inappropriate content and we have to work with them to get it right.

Be patient, but you shouldn't have to wait more than 2 or 3 days at the most. Personally I wouldn't want to see it take 2 days or longer to approve.

Best regards,

Luke
